Chris inherited a summer house from his uncle. It had not been in use for over 15 years and was in disrepair. He met with James W, a general contractor who specializes in carpentry, who agreed to restore the house for $30,000. Neither party agreed on the word restore. James thought it meant taking out the dry rot in different parts of the house, shoring up the foundation and rebuilding the porch all tasks that are tied to carpentry. However, the house had electrical and plumbing issues needing resolution as well. As James was remodeling the structure, he told Chris the house needed electrical and plumbing work, and asked for permission to get the work done with some subcontractors. Chris agreed, thinking the cost was in the original $30,000 estimate. When the house was completed, James demanded $48,000. Chris refused to pay more than the $30,000 price, and James sued.
